I'm actually doing stuff in the shop. Got this thing up and running.....
What did you do in your shop today?
- Thread starter woodtickgreg
- Start date
It's been an interesting year....
I'm sure. How's the business holding up? I'm guessing any shows you might have done were all cancelled.
Year to date I'm at 16% of where I was last year
We'll see, i got some grant funding but couldn't get unemployment. I just keep scrambling to pay the bills each month until I can't and then I guess whatever happens, happens.
I'm in for one too. Mine always lost in the shuffle on my shelf...
Please let me know when you get up and running on these also Lou.
What machine is that? Not a shapeoko or an xcarve right?
It is an xcarve, longer side rails and a CNC for newbies z axis
I was researching both machines awhile back. They are pretty awesome. Someday I always tell myself
A little work on my next set of cheese slicer cutting boards. Also helping me learn some lessons before I start in on that good wood from Larry.
Also building a Bluetooth speaker box, went the easy route first. Learned some more lessons about my bandsaw and resawing as well. Hmmmmmmmm
and all 3 pictures are upside down. Darn phone.....oh well, in this case no big deal.

Whew thank goodness. I thought you glued everything including the glue to the ceiling!
Today I milled a bunch of Olive limbs. The only thing I could think of doing is setting the lumber up for cutting boards. I have three that will make 3/4 x 7 x 9" boards.
and 3 that will make 3/4 x 12 x 12" boards. This first picture shows the back side of the board which are still over 15/16" thick. I believe I'll be able to clean up at least 95 % of the bark underlament.
The top side is a whole lot better.
I need opinions here. Is 12 x 12 a good size, or should I take it down to 10 x 12" ? The 7 x 9" boards are at just under 13/16', and should clean up at 11/16' +. Is that thick enough for a board that small? thanks in advance....... Jerry (in Tucson)

I am NO expert, but these small cheese boards are 3/4 x 5.75 x 6 to 9 inches. So I think you are good. Again, just comparing to what I have done with these kits.
pretty wood, that is for sure!

In my experience, square boards aren't appealing to most people. Also, I think you can get by with that thickness if it's very dry.
That's why the shape of Texas is the best
Hey man, I got one of those. it still looks as good as this'n does. In udder werds, it ain't got used yet. . ............... Jerry (in Tucson)
